- X, the former Twitter, has experienced a worldwide outage as of 12PM on Monday CAT.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
- The outage seems to have only lasted for about half an hour.

I still can’t believe he nuked the Twitter brand. It was like the most valuable part of the platform. X is such a dumb, generic nothing name.
It’s going to be so easy for him to turn that x into a swastika in a couple of years though. Its what’s known in tech circles as IED “iterative evil design”
He is really really dumb person, so it is not surprising he does stupid stuff. Look at cybershit, tesla robot (driven by people remotely), anything he did last year… He is fucking dumb idiot.
Yeah, I really could not understand the motivation behind that. Why throw away such a valuable brand? I mean the name was even a clever play on words that also gave them a cute bird icon/mascot.
“Twitter”, with that bird logo is just a slam dunk, that’s solid gold branding… It’s insane to randomly “go a different direction” and then land at “X”. If I was their brand coordinator or director of marketing when they made that change, I’d resign then and there.
Changing their name to “X” was essentially lighting 20% of their assets on fire on day 1.
losing just 20% is probably a best case scenario for musk IMO.
It just depends on which type of serifs he puts on the X.
Who the fuck is still on that nazi shithole
Nazis, I imagine.
Remember kids, only nazis support nazis.
I was just talking to a friend who’s very anti-nazi (at least, that’s what he says), told him that by staying there, he’s feeding the nazis. He says that he’s the resistance working from within lol. People would tell themselves all kinds of stories for convenience.
Ask him if he’d go to a nazi bar, and start a fist fight.
I mean, there’s no comparison. Punching Nazis is always cool, Twitter is just talking to them, which never is. You and fifty friends go on Twitter and dunk on Nazis all day and you’re still just at a table talking with the enemy. Take fifty friends to a Nazi bar and throw punches, you’ve just improved the neighbourhood.
And bots
My government emergency alerts :(
I actually emailed my local National Weather Service station awhile back asking if they’d post on Mastodon and even offered them a BlueSky invite and they wrote back saying only Twitter and Facebook were allowed and they’d be everywhere if it was approved by higher ups.
Someone made a BlueSky bot a few months ago for NWS notices and I’m pretty sure they covered every local one. I remember the person who made it asking people to request any missing stations. Not sure if there’s a Mastodon equivalent but you could use a bridge. It won’t help with transit delays or other local government announcements but the weather service stuff is available (via an AtProto <-> ActivityPub bridge if nothing else; it’s not like you interact with the posts so it’d be ideal for a bridge).
Make a bot that listens to those and posts them here.
Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon
Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.
Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.
It’s behind a paywall and I’m not paying that Nazi.
Nazi’s
If we’re lucky it’s forever.
Says it was only 30 minutes in the description. Kinds weird they’re telling us about it and not including thst bit in the title.
Let’s gooooo. Take that garbage site out
What can I do to help the cause, even though I don’t have a Twitter account and only used it for porn drawings in the past?
Elon’s blaming DDOS. You know I heard that the people who bulit Twitter did a great job figuring out how to handle those. Gosh, I wonder what ever happened them?
Everyone knows that the best way to address DDOS is to unplug random servers until things either stop working, or start working again.
Don’t you unplug it and plug it back in again?
Fascists value compliance and ideological fervor over competency, so naturally all fascist led faction experience a competency crisis sooner or later.May this happen more often.
God I hope there’s some engineer somewhere at X quietly sabotaging all of their services.
Should plant a timed zip bomb on the servers that autoruns on reboot
Plug that random USB stick you found on the sidewalk directly into the server and open up Link_ParkFullAlbum-LimeWire.exe
insert ‘oh no, anyway’ meme here
Now this is the kind of X news I’m okay with reading.
Although I can only imagine what this means for the US since Musk is treating the government like one of his businesses.
- This is likely the first major outage of the company since Musk took ownership in 2022.
Didn’t Twitter go down multiple times for similar periods of time not long after Musk fired everybody? Or am I just hallucinating wishful thinking.
Yeah I seem to remember quite a few “oh so that’s what that wire does” situations that unfolded already.
Do we know if that was real or if the media was just exaggerating things
I dunno about going down entirely, but bits and pieces (like SMS verification) definitely broke while they were undoing work and cutting “expenses” (like office leases)
The data at downforeveryoneorjustme make it appear that “only lasted for about half an hour” is BS. In fact, they appear to be having problems again this morning.
Looks like yippidy dipshit is on a great losing streak, space x, the recession, now this.
Its been down at my house for a while now.
It was never up in this house.
I don’t have an account. Never did. But I have a custom blocklist running on my router and elons crap is there. Along with a lot of trash sites like facebook.
But wait, isn’t this some sort of official government communication channel now? Sure there must be uptime agreements and penalties for such a thing, right? Right?!?
Good. Sadly it was fixed.
